Having worked in McDonald's, I'm going to give you the secret of the Egg McMuffin.

It's an egg. In a muffin.

FTV:

"But the fox with the undercover video camera was already in the henhouse..."

Not really sure what this has to do with McDonald's in particular, given how many other companies to which they are a supplier. Equally I'm pretty sure you'll find the same grotesque conditions in any major animal product supplier to some degree.

On a different note, this is some stellar PR work: The egg producer now says it is moving forward to make its company "better."

English muffins are now American?

They have Canadian bacon in them and Canada is in North America.

Only after you stuff American cheese, factory farm eggs, and "meat" between them. Then they're 'Murican

On the one hand, it's great to be the king of fast-food. On the other hand, it means you come to represent everything terrible and when Americans can't control themselves, then they go out hunting for people to blame for their own incapability to control themselves.

Guess what? Most people don't give a sh*t if chickens' lives suck. They're f*ckin' chickens.

Similarly, if you go into pretty much any office anywhere in the world, you're going to find people that don't give a sh*t about their customers. It's pretty tough to expect 100 percent of employees to care 100 percent of the time, especially when for the most part, places are paying minimum wage. And any extra success the company has is going to go to the CEO.

It was to be egg-spected.

/got nothing

The McMuffin is probably the only reason I'll ever go to Mickey D's. Some enzyme or something turned off in my intestines a few years back and now whenever I eat anything else on the menu it turns to cement in my stomach and exits explosively several hours later.

But Egg McMuffins are such a sweet, sweet guilty pleasure.

UsikFark: thespindrifter: No. That would be a MacMuffin®; McMuffin is Irish.

Sounds explosive.

That's what you get about three hours later.

Because realistically, it's the most recognizable-ingredient-containing thing on the menu. There's nothing weird about it. It's regular eggs, regular Canadian bacon, and American cheese on an English muffin with some butter on it. It's all stuff you could do at home and it would taste exactly the same.

/I can't do it anymore because I know that they cost roughly 14 cents to make and now they charge like $2.50 for 'em. Back when they were 99 cents, I'd order a bunch though.

Go back to /b/ then.

You'd better run egg!

Ingredients:

1 English muffin (Thomas's or something decent)
1 egg
1 slice colby-jack cheese (or whatever floats your boat)
small pile of deli ham
butter
mayo

Split and toast muffin. While it's in the toaster, spray a muffin-sized ramekin with Pam and scramble the egg in it. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time until done.

When the muffin pops out of the toaster put a little butter on one half and a little mayo on the other.

Put one muffin half in the ramekin on top of the egg, turn it over and slam it on the counter to eject the egg.

Top with cheese, ham and other muffin half. Wait a bit for the cheese to melt. Eat.

Well, I'm not sure of all the ingredients but I can tell you that I do know what's in the "breakfast sauce" and that I am personally responsible for every single squirt of the good stuff.

/you're welcome
